A William Simeone Photo
Name, where are you from?
My name is William and I am from Venice in Italy.
Describe your style in three words?
Wannabe F-Boy.
What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?
It wasn’t necessarily a gig but back in 2016 I was picked to be in the new Arca’s video at the time of Anoche and that is still today one of the best music experiences I have been part of. Not only for the opportunity to meet Arca and Jesse Kanda but also all the other talents involved. Plus we were all in our underwear covered in vaseline laying on a wet floor in a massive warehouse space, and that’s always a plus!
If you could be on the line up with any two artists in history?
Fleetwood Mac, Depeche Mode and Velvet Underground.
Which subcultures have influenced you?
NYC '70s disco meets '90s grunge.
If you could spend an hour with anyone from history, who would you choose?
If we are still talking about music then I have to pick David Bowie which I would have loved to have seen live at least.
Of all the venues you’ve been to or played, which is your favourite?
Every Warehouse in Hackney Wick... after 4 am.
Your greatest unsung hero or heroine in music?
Loredana Bert.

A song that defines the teenage you?
'Crimeware' by Crystal Castles.
One record you would keep forever?
'My Beautiful Dark Fantasy' by Kanye West.
A song lyric that has inspired you?
'The Greatest Love of All' by Whitney Huston.
The song that would get you straight on the dance floor?
'Gypsy Woman' by Crystal Waters.
Best song to turn up loud?
'Immaterial' by Sophie.
A song people wouldn’t expect you to like?
'Run like Hell' by Pink Floyd.
Best song to end an all-nighter on?
